Participants in research

Ryan Smith (Group Leader)

Dr. Ryan Smith is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Cal State East Bay. He did his Ph.D. research at JILA and the University of Colorado in the group of Dr. Steven Cundiff, where he used ultrafast pulses of light to measure nonlinear interactions in semiconductor quantum well structures. After graduating in 2010, Dr. Smiith has been involved in research in Korea and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, in projects including quantum dot solar cells, multidimensional spectroscopy of nanostructures, and time-resolved terahertz studies of graphene. In the fall of 2015, he is starting up a lab at Cal State East Bay, where he is now teaching and researching physics.
